I don't think you want the ant jar in your classpath. In fact, I build
on Windows with no CLASSPATH at all, and didn't have any trouble. The
build script sets up the necessary paths.

Since it doesn't seem as though my entire email was fowarded I will include it in this reply. I downloaded an extracted the POI source to a "Java Dev" folder under the "MY Documents" folder on my Win2K box. I cd'ed to this directory and called the build batch script which runs fine. When it prompts me for a target I enter test hit the enter key and get an error stating that it can't find the org/apache/tools/ant/BuildException class and that the build failed. I copied the results from my test in my orignal email. You can reference this below.

Thanks for your help,
Cliff

Original email below:
I'm getting frustrated with my POI build too. I've been told it's because I didn't have ant originally and so I downloaded and installed it. I set the ANT_HOME env variable and put ANT_HOME\bin in my path. I also put the ant jar file in my classpath. Whenever I run the test target from the POI build I get this:

test:
Running org.apache.poi.hpsf.basic.TestBasic
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/BuildException
Exception in thread "main"

BUILD FAILED
C:\Documents and Settings\craic0ld\My Documents\Java Dev\jakarta-poi-1.8.0-dev-s
rc\tools\cents\junit.cent\xbuild.xml:59: Test org.apache.poi.hpsf.basic.TestBasi
c failed

Total time: 17 seconds

C:\Documents and Settings\craic0ld\My Documents\Java Dev\jakarta-poi-1.8.0-dev-s
rc>echo %CLASSPATH%

;C:\JClass;C:\JClass\build\jakarta-poi-1.5.1-final-20020615.jar;C:
\Documents and
Settings\craic0ld\My Documents\Java Dev\work

Note how I've echoed my classpath to make sure that ant.jar is available. At the start of the build execution it echoes that it's using a modified classpath set (as I've also verified) by the build file. It also says it's using Jakarta Ant version 1.5 alpha. I don't see this refenced in the modified classpath so where is it finding it? Is it the build that's hosed up or is it my configuration? What am I doing wrong?

POI builds with the included ant and teh included scripts.
It should be that users CD into the poi dir and run the build script.

What is it you are getting as an error?
